Leaving the hilichurl cave, Jiang Bai followed the path that led to the top, and from time to time ice picks fell from above, some on umbrellas, some on the ice, and some on the road ahead.

If it weren't for the fact that these ice picks were all naturally generated, Jiang Bai would have suspected that they had been manipulated, and he would not give up at all if he didn't hit him.

Dodging the many hidden weapons, Jiang Bai finally walked to the top of the cave smoothly and saw the sky outside the cave.

However, the road did not lead to the top of the mountain as expected, but to the other direction of the snow-capped mountain, and there was no way to continue on.

Jiang Bai walked out of the cave, and what he saw was a place similar to an altar, with some characters painted on the ground that Jiang Bai couldn't understand, and several fires that had long been extinguished were placed around.

Jiang Bai turned around and found a small stone stele.

I don't know how long this stele has been here, and it is covered with a thick layer of snow, which is very inconspicuous. Jiang Bai cleaned the snow on it, and it took a long time to piece together a sentence.

“...... Tried to heal the leylines, but the tree had died, and the princess was buried thinly......"

Heal the leylines? Isn't leyline a conceptual network? Can it still be polluted? Is the tree dead? What is a tree? It shouldn't be an ordinary tree, is it a synonym for something special?

Will the princess be buried? Is it buried here? Which country's princess again? Since it is a princess, why is it a thin burial?

In these few short sentences of inscription, the more Jiang Bai looked at it, the more confused he became.

I just feel that the words on it are the same as riddles, and he can still understand them separately, but he can't understand them together.

He put the stele aside for a moment and looked around.

There was no road here except for this clearing in the col, and below, a cliff.

Vast expanses of wind and snow covered the sky, making visibility extremely poor.

Jiang Bai tried to look up, but could see nothing but the thick mountain rocks covered by ice.

He picked up the quadrangular prayer instrument that had been hanging on his waist, and the pointer on it still pointed to the top of the mountain, and he was still a long way from the top of the mountain.

There was no road here, so Jiang Bai could only go back the way he came, to see if there were any other exits in this cave.

By the time he finally found his way out, it was already dark outside.

"Is it so late?"

There is no moon or stars except for wind and snow all around, and there is no way to judge the time.

"I just said that I always felt that something was missing, it turned out that the clock was missing!" Jiang Bai patted his head, a little annoyed.

In the past, there was a hall master's pedestrian clock when he went out, and he didn't think of preparing a clock at all, so that now there is no way to judge the time.

Now he was frustrated and could not do anything, he went back to the cave without wind and snow, lit a fire, and prepared to eat and rest.

Jiang Baipan sat in front of the fire, looked at the howling wind and snow outside, and poured a sip of wine.

It was not quiet all around, there was the sound of wind and snow howling, the whining of the wind blowing through the cave, the crackling of burning firewood, and the gurgling and bubbling of boiling water.

But even if it was so noisy, there was no one else around except Jiang Bai, and there was a sense of loneliness between heaven and earth.

Jiang Bai thought that if he hadn't met Hu Tao and hadn't joined the Hall of the Dead, he would probably have been wandering in this world, without companions, friends, lonely and boring.

He took another sip of wine, and the hot sensation spread from his throat to his body, making his body feel a little warm.

"The next time you go out, you must pull the walnut on, even if it is soft and hard, you have to grind it until she agrees, there is not even a person to talk to, it is too boring to be alone......"

Jiang Bai muttered in a low voice, and a drunken flush appeared on his cheeks.

"Hall Master, Hall Master, I'm so bored......"

Hu Tao, who was lying on the bed and was about to sleep, sneezed several times in a row.

"It must be Jiang Bai, that guy is nagging about me!"

She sat up and looked through the window in the direction of the snow-capped mountains.

"It's been almost two days since he went to the Snow Mountain, and I don't know what happened, and I wonder if I can't see him suddenly ......"

The little ghost emerged from her body and landed on top of her head like a white hat.

It's kind of missing that guy too......

......

I don't know when it dawned, Jiang Bai came out of the coffin and stretched his waist.

The snow continued to fall outside, but it wasn't as heavy as it was yesterday.

Jiang Bai washed up, finished breakfast, and continued to set off.

It's been almost two days since Liyue Harbor set out, and this snow-capped mountain is really not ordinary, and even though there are four directions to show the way, Jiang Bai has not yet found a way to the top of the mountain.

It's no wonder that adventurers can spend years or even decades on this snow-capped mountain, because it is not easy to explore this snow-capped mountain.

He walked along the rugged road in the mountains, and after walking for a long time, he walked again, and the wind and snow gradually disappeared, and his vision widened.

Jiang Bai saw an environment that seemed to be abnormal, not like a scene that could be formed by normal mountain rocks.

When I walked over, it turned out to be a huge skeleton, which sank into the mountain, and the other parts were either buried by the wind and snow, or assimilated by the rocks, leaving only the huge ribs that had supported the body.

These ribs are stuck diagonally in the rocks one by one, revealing a somewhat evil aura, which makes people dare not approach at will.

"What's that?"

Jiang Bai couldn't imagine what kind of creature could be so huge.

Intrigued, he didn't care if he would deviate from his original path, so he found a plank to use as a sleigh and slid into the valley made of huge bones.

Entering the valley, the already shocking skeleton became bigger and bigger in the field of vision, Jiang Bai stood under a skeleton, trying to hug this skeleton, but he couldn't even hold half a circle.

"How did such a huge creature die in the snowy mountains?"

He tapped the bones, which made a dull noise.

He followed the trend of the skeleton all the way forward, trying to analyze what the skeleton looked like in front of it, and as he walked, there was gradually a red ore in his field of vision, which he had seen in other places in the snowy mountains, and tried to dig a piece, but found no other role except for being a hand warmer.

And this ore is like an ice cube, it can't be carried for a long time, and once it leaves the ground where it grows, it will melt and disappear after a while.

But this ore gradually became more abundant here, scattered on the white snow, like blood spilled.

"The further I go, the heavier the evil aura seems to become......"

Jiang Bai walked forward in the direction of the increase in ore, and entered a small cave covered with ice and snow, and the cave was full of this red ore, and a chaotic and evil aura diffused in it.

At the end of the cave, there was a huge, beating, bright red heart.

A figure stood in front of the huge heart and looked back at the sound of footsteps.
